Former sex offenders back on the list

The pasts of sex offenders who have served their time are coming back to haunt them. Thanks to the passage of a law in 2009, sex offenders who served their time and were removed from the list have been re-listed as sex offenders.

“Many of these mainly men, have children and families and all of a sudden they’ve popped up on a registry again for a very minor crime they committed two decades ago.”

State Senator Amanda Mcgill of Lincoln says the Judiciary committee has decided to hold hearings on the issue.
